  8. "We don't need a traditional military to be doing that job, right? That's a coast guard job ... You could have an entirely different force doing that stuff ... We could even have ... a disaster management/ coast guard/ [anti-]poaching protection force ... You don't need javelin missiles or any of that nonsense for that."

  12. SWANSEA: Maritime Quarter flats evacuated after fire fills properties with smoke

    Smoke filled a flats complex in Swansea as a fire prompted an evacuation of the property. Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service attended Burrows Chambers in the Maritime Quarter of Swansea on Saturday morning.

    The building was evacuated and the fire service spent just over an over at the scene bringing it under control using four hose reel jets among other specialist equipment.

    It is unknown what the cause of the fire was.

    A spokesman for the fire service said:

    “At 7.44am on Saturday, April 11, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service crews from Swansea Central, Swansea West, Port Talbot and Morriston fire stations were called to an incident at Maritime Quarter in Swansea.

    “The crews responded to a fire within a ground floor flat. Crews utilised four breathing apparatus sets, four hose reel jets and four thermal imaging cameras to extinguish the fire.

    “All occupants from the building were evacuated, with smoke affecting some neighbouring flats. Crews left the scene at 8.50am.”

    Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service has said it is “committed to delivering the best possible service for communities.”

    “If you live in mid and west Wales, we offer the opportunity to have a Safe and Well Visit in your home. They are completely free and available to everyone. Visit here to see the full list of our Fire Stations and the area we cover.

    “A Safe and Well Visit includes all the contents of the home fire safety checks but will also include other safety messages that may be relevant to the people living in the property.

    “The five main additional topics will cover smoking cessation, home security, falls prevention, scamming awareness, and tackling loneliness and isolation.

    “For more information and to book a free Safe and Well visit, please visit here or call 0800 169 1234.”
